Actions to be taken.
• Increasing the number of trained operator for avoiding the maximum
interruption.
• Improving the cooling connection for leakages to avoid mold down
interruption.
• Increasing the number of inserts.
• Improving the layout for better ergonomics.
• Minimizing the points of rework and bring it near the machine.
• Feasibility for UPS connection so that machine run uninterrupted.

Actions initiated
Reason Causes Actions
Waiting for operator
1,Only 2 trained operator per shift.
1, Trained operators so that at
least 4 operators are there
during breaks in a shift for
relieving.
2, Recruiting new operators
Mold problem
1, Cooling leakages.
2,Frequent insert breakages
1, New quick couplers planned.
2, Insert design changed to
avoid frequent breakages
Power failure
1, At least 4 time power break down
causing too much stoppages with
set up rejection.
1, UPS installed for back up in
case of power failure.

Before and After lay out change
Before After
180
Operator movement for insertion of inserts and removal of the
molded part was difficult and tiresome.
The insertion station brought near operator making the movement
minimum.

Before and after layout change
Before After
Congested work station making visual inspection difficult Increased the size of the work platform for accommodating all the
operators.
